Prime Minister Mark Phillips yesterday  declared open the Hope and Justice Centre in Vergenoegen, Region 3 which he described as a bastion of justice.

According to a release from the Prime Minister’s Office, Phillips said the Centre will operate as a “One-Stop” facility to serve not only victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence but also families and the wider community, representing the beginning of a broader reform agenda aimed at making justice more accessible, compassionate, and effective throughout Guyana.

Phillips, according to the release, emphasised that this initiative goes beyond mere policies and programmes; it embodies the fundamental principles of care, love, and compassion, which he deemed essential for building a society rooted in hope and justice for all.
